The Command Unit Rescue
Rescue 1 Command Units are available in a number of variations and designs that range from a simple desk mounted in a rescue to a fully functional command post. Most traditional command units are designed with multiple work stations, a conference room and a slide out partition to increase the interior work space. Restrooms, comfort stations, diesel driven generators, light towers, and surveillance cameras are just a few of the many options that are available.

Reasons why a department would choose a Command Unit
What works great for one department doesn’t work for others. From structural fires to weather related disasters, the job requirements change. Some are hours long while others are weeks. The size and the complexity of each command unit built is driven by the community’s needs.
Are Command Units typically Walk-In or Walk-Around style?
Command scenes can be directed from the tailgate of an SUV, while others are on scene for extended durations of time. Command Units can be offered as a Walk In design or Walk Around with a front crew area.

Construction
How are the Rescue 1 Command Units constructed?
Command Units are manufactured with the same construction methods as our rescue units. Light Duty or Heavy Duty construction is driven by the chassis it’s mounted on. All extruded aluminum structural framing is skinned with .125” and .1875” flat panels of aluminum.
